@bryan k said: Great renders and models. Thanks for the process illustration. Are the textures from Indigo or SketchUp? Thank you. The textures are self-made.

Love it!

Wow! VERY cool model! Great job Liam.

I think this is one of your best texturing jobs, John - the street, sidewalk, the brick fence, house walls, gates, roof...all excellent. They really pop in the larger version of the image, where the details are more noticeable. Are the house walls one texture, or a combination different brick and stone textures? I think the one item that could be improved is the large timbers could use some more bump - the large cracks look flat/have no depth. Foliage integrated perfectly, as usual. Beautiful image. I know it's been mentioned before, but you really should update your status from beginner.

beautiful set John

Very impressive modeling, texturing, and rendering. My only criticism is that the propellers appear static in some of the images.

Thanks all for comments. @cotty said: Nice chair, I have added it as an example to the Artisan example collection. (OK for you?) If you like, you can share your proxy Ok

thanks guys!

thanks Victor, i'll try to add some interior! the renders were done in maxwell studio. yes Pete, it's for swimming. at first glance at this system it may look insanitary, but it actually works quiet well.

beautiful, my only crit would be that the sink is too shiny. and maybe the plants etc outside the windows are too vivid, you could almost fade them out to bring attention back to the interior.

Ahhh more,Well no more pictures. I dislike to spoil mroe but,it has a smal restaurant. Completed after pictures were taken. Dawns is known for its clean services in Cardinal City LA.

Very cool idea Alex. I like the individual vases best.

Edson, when someone says "is this Vray?" and you say, "no it's Podium", it really shows just how well you apply the software. These renders are some of the best I've seen. I adore the portrait image!

Thank you. It's not 100% complete, as of now it doesn't have any doors (Headlights, taillights, side markers, blinkers, Etc.) on it, and the grill is a bit odd, it's my first attempt at a material that cuts through the surface, so your eyes are fine.

Very interesting, although the mix of styles doesn't appeal to me. I came very close to building a geodesic dome home in the mid 70's. Had a customized kit all finalized, was ready to send the check and then I got orders to Iceland. It got put on a back shelf and just stayed there. I've always regretted that

Hi, Pilou. No, not really. As i wrote, the results are a mixture between historical examples and a light intention to play with forms, structures and textures (improvised). The tought in the background was: How would i (at the moment) create a temple today. Theres a lot of playground in that work. As a beginner, my basic-intention was to learn the basic-tools of Sketchup. But magnificent floor-works and intarsia-works had exist in the past, of course. It´s also just a play with possibilities of cutting stones - today and in the past. A reason for such special designing was also for me, that we today potentially would use also for instance carbon-concrete and other modern materials for parts of such temple today. The claim was not to have a 100 percent authenticity to originals in the past. Vince

Not Calatrava him-self: he uses Pencils and Brushes! But surely his collaborators! first drawings [image: 4calatrava.jpg] in reality [image: 0004.jpg] Preparatory sketch for Wave, 2001. Watercolor and graphite on paper. [image: sketch.JPG]

Hey Joel. Your work is always inspiring. Glad it's getting a broader viewing and growing. Thanks for sharing. It's a funny thing with SU, the wide variety of creativity and ingenuity it seems to enable. Peter

That is a great scene. I always had a plastic 5.25" disk holder with a smoky colored plastic flip top lid on my desk. http://img216.imageshack.us/img216/4586/oie80s2b.jpg Maybe it's not old enough though?
